Starting Scenario for Knife-thrower Draco Stormflex, Living in Karavalé

"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions"

Some creatures are eager to travel to places far from their birthplace, to distant lands of bountiful splendor and wonder. However, when the harsh reality wakes them up, they realize they left everything good behind. They scurry back home, but by that time, it is too late. Things have changed, times have gone on, and they have been forgotten. So it was for the weasel and his travelling companion, a stoat.

As young hot headed creatures, they had travelled far from the safe outskirts of Karavalé and into a world fraught with danger. They skills they had attained on their adventures were invaluable, but nothing could be more valuable than the comfort of home. And when they did finally return, there was no comfort left to spare. Their families were gone, their childhood mates as well. They entered a different world, looking for jobs, but could not find any. They were driven away by the fishers, the blacksmiths, the merchants, even the nomadic performers.

So they began their own scheme. The cunning of the weasel, mixed with the smooth tongue of the stoat landed them their own business of knife-throwing performances by day and assassinations by night. Yet nobeast knew that these two companions were both performers and assassins at once. They built themselves around their talents, and became well respected amongst the hidden communities that lay in the alleyways of Karavalé. But there would always be those who despised the talented, and the two partners in crime had to go into hiding and give up their assassin ways.

They lived from then on as mere performers, disrespected by those of the city, those who would never know how talented these creatures were. Eventually accepted into a group of performers, their fantastic knife-throwing acts awarded them with status and popularity. But after the events of the Underground and the closing of the city, the entertainment industry was closed down when most of the performers were killed. Now putting on a solo act, the two companions lived on through their talent.

But at this moment, they were in trouble. Being chased through the streets of the city, their cover had been blown, and now their former enemies knew that these two used to be assassins. The chase was on.
